Dr. Collins has been one of America’s premier scientists, and he is also a Christian. Â His book, The Language of God, is subtitled “A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief.” Â He’s also an incredible speaker, who is very comfortable discussing both his professional work and his personal testimony.Â

Back in February, Dr. Collins spoke at Stanford University at an event co-sponsored by the InterVarsity chapter there; you can download audio or video from his talk. Â It’s well worth it. Â In addition to presenting a clear case for Christianity, his personal testimony is inspiring – from hardcore atheist to devoted Christian, all while being confronted daily with the realities of suffering and death as a practicing physician. Like so many other thoughtful Christians, Collins credits C. S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity as one of the key influences in his journey toward God.Â

I will be very interested to see what he does next. Â May God bless him in his endeavors.Â
